The Volkswagen Type 183, more commonly known as the Iltis (German for polecat), is a military vehicle built by Volkswagen for use by the German military. The Iltis was formerly built under licence in Canada by Bombardier Inc.
Although the two vehicles were briefly offered simultaneously, the Type 183 effectively replaced the Type 181.
